See, it’s not only you Pt2.

Things Givers Don’t Like (Updated List) 

You made it hard for me. 

So hard that I decided to remove the original four and use the gold you gave me instead. 

I went back and forth for over an hour looking for overlap, while choosing the most common and unique “Don’t Likes”.

The entire process was proof- “See, it’s not only you”. 

We are so similar. We want to give. 

But there are things we don’t like about giving. They don’t make us feel good about giving. 

And sometimes, they stop us from giving altogether. 

Generosity is giving more than is necessary or expected. 

And as I read each email it was clear, you are generous. 

Thank you.

Things Givers Don’t Like (Updated List)

1. When people give without a cheerful heart and then complain about it later.

2. Being asked at the last minute.

3. When people give and expect something in return. 

4. People who give only to broadcast their gift.

5. Not being thanked or acknowledged for giving. 

6. People who are ungrateful.

7. The lack of reciprocity.

8. Being asked to give more, just after I’ve already given. 

9. When the gift is given out of obligation and not from the heart.

10. People who see, but obviously ignore an opportunity to give.

Gold.

P.S. If you missed out on the opportunity to give to this list, and you have something to share, feel free to send me an email. I love free gifts. (mandell@givingislike.com)
